Which tips do I need for spraying self etching primer which is really thin, sealer primer which is sort of thick and final coat of paint. I am new to this and have only used a porter cable psh-1 paint gun. I have painted several tractors but always borrowed a paint gun, now I am looking for my own. Thank you for the help.

I use 1.5 for epoxy and 1.3 or 1.5 for topcoat depending on which gun I use. I also have a 1.0 mm tip in a touchup gun for small parts and it gets more use than my full size guns. High build primers and surfacers need about 1.8 mm. Surfacer sprays better with a large tip but it is not critical since it must be sanded. [Reply]  [No Email]
